Mohammad Shami, Rohit Sharma Close to breaking huge records
Team India is ready to start its ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign on Sunday with a match against Australia in Chennai. The hosts will aim to put their best foot forward from the very beginning. The last time India won the World Cup was back in 2012. Since then, the side has won only one ICC title—the 2013 Champions Trophy. Before Rohit Sharma and company start their campaign, let's have a look at the list of records the players of the side can break during the mega event:
Rohit Sharma, who is the captain of Team India, is also in the running for breaking another record with the bat, as a century more would make him the Indian with the most number of centuries in the event's history, going past Tendulkar (6).
Indian skipper-cum-opener Rohit Sharma is just three maximums away from becoming the highest six-hitter in international cricket as he looks to go past legendary West Indian opener Chris Gayle (553).
Young Indian opener Shubman Gill needs 665 runs more to become the highest run scorer in an ODI calendar year, as he would go past former Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar (1,894).
Seamer of Team India Mohammed Shami is 13 wickets away from becoming the highest Indian wicket-taker in World Cup history, as he would surpass Zaheer Khan and Javagal Srinath (44).
